AUGUST 2026: GASTOWN

As the day began to wind down, VanSPC members took to the historic streets of Gastown to make the most of that fleeting golden hour light. The warm glow, long shadows, brick lined streets, and unmistakable character of the neighbourhood offered plenty of opportunities to slow down, observe, and capture the unexpected moments that make street photography so compelling. This gallery brings together some of the group’s favourite photographs from the walk, each offering a different perspective on Gastown as the city transitioned from day into evening.
